You can use ChatGPT as an online reading assistant in several ways. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide:
1. Get an OpenAI API Key: To make use of the OpenAI’s GPT-3, you need to sign up on the OpenAI website and obtain an API key. As of March 1, 2023, pricing details and access can be found on their Pricing page.
1. Install the Necessary Libraries: If you plan to use the API in a Python environment, you must install the OpenAI library. You can do this with pip using the command “pip install openai”.
1. Make API Calls: With your API key, you can now make calls to the GPT-3 API.
Here’s an example of how to use it in a Python code:
```
import openai
openai.api_key = ‘your-api-key-here’
response = openai.ChatCompletion.create(
model=“gpt-3.5-turbo”,
messages=[
{“role”: “system”, “content”: “You are a helpful assistant.”},
{“role”: “user”, “content”: “Can you help me understand this paragraph? ‘Evolution is the process by which different kinds of living organisms are thought to have developed and diversified from earlier forms during the history of the earth.’”},
]
)
In this code, ChatGPT acts as a reading assistant and helps the user understand a particular paragraph. The system message initializes the assistant’s behavior.
1. Interpret the Results: The resulting message from the model (in ‘response\[‘choices’]\0\[‘message’]\[‘content’]) would provide a simplified explanation or context.
Please note that this chat model works best in a conversational context. The model can lose track of the context in conversations longer than its token limit (4096 tokens for gpt-3.5-turbo as of the time of writing).
